About
Devon Thatching Ltd is a specialist thatching contractor based in the South West of England, providing traditional and conservation-led thatching services across Devon and the surrounding counties. With a strong focus on historic buildings, rural dwellings, and vernacular architecture, the company works at the intersection of craft tradition, material knowledge, and long-term building performance—values closely aligned with the ethos of ConserveConnect. The company undertakes both full re-thatching projects and detailed repair work, supporting the ongoing care of period cottages, listed buildings, farmhouses, and heritage properties. Its work reflects a deep understanding of regional thatching traditions, roof forms, and detailing, ensuring that interventions respect local character while meeting modern expectations for durability and safety. Devon Thatching Ltd works with a range of traditional thatching materials, including water reed, combed wheat reed (long straw), and decorative ridge styles appropriate to the building’s age and context. Careful attention is paid to fixing methods, pitch, ridge detailing, and weathering characteristics, recognising that the longevity of a thatched roof depends as much on craftsmanship as on material selection. In addition to new thatch and renewal projects, the company provides ongoing maintenance and repair services, helping owners extend the life of existing roofs through targeted interventions. This preventative approach is particularly valuable for listed and conservation-area properties, where sympathetic repair can reduce the need for more invasive works over time. Devon Thatching Ltd is experienced in working within conservation and planning frameworks, liaising where required with conservation officers, surveyors, and heritage professionals. This makes the company a suitable choice for clients navigating listed building consent or seeking reassurance that works will be undertaken in accordance with best conservation practice. For property owners, estates, architects, and conservation professionals seeking a skilled thatcher with regional knowledge and a respect for traditional construction, Devon Thatching Ltd offers a dependable and craft-focused service rooted in the long traditions of South West thatching.
